What is the fight for every breath, and for years? The story of Mr. Piotr leaves hardly anyone indifferent. We told her in the Sunday “Facts” of TVN. We return to Dębno to show the strength of hope again.
Every breath is catching life. A small ray of hope appeared in this everyday life – viewers of “Facts” by TVN. – The power of people who turned to television to create a collection because they want to help us – says Piotr Dubilewicz, the hero of the material.
His lungs have been disappearing for 12 years, he almost doesn't get out of bed. – We still have so many common plans. We never thought we would find ourselves in such a situation. Well, but man is often subjected to some attempt – says Katarzyna Dubilewicz, wife of Mr. Piotr.
They had to borrow money so that he could breathe
They say it with shame. They had to borrow money so that Mr. Piotr could breathe, but it ended. Longs are growing – it is already tens of thousands of zlotys. Life bill. – Mom. My family helps me. Two minutes and I'm gone. We are indebted, we take loans – says Mr. Piotr.
The pension is not even sufficient for electricity fees. The apparatus, thanks to which he breathes, works around the clock. The aggregate is waiting in the emergency room and they pay for everything themselves.
– Mr. Piotr also needs this support from people who are around. I think he should feel that he is important, that he is needed, that he is not a burden for anyone – indicates Aleksandra Stańska, a specialist in clinical psychology of the University Clinical Center in Gdańsk.
– I should not live three times – says Piotr Dubilewicz. It's hard to be indifferent. – A great nod for our neighbors that when I didn't need a day and night – says Katarzyna Dubilewicz.
– First of all, even providing oxygen, providing basic purchases – indicates Zdzisław Wilk, a neighbor of Mr. Piotr. – The words “thank you” are certainly not enough – believes Piotr Dubilewicz.
In anticipation of the phone
Mr. Piotr has been packed for a year – he is waiting for the phone that a donor was found for him. There are 10 times more waiting for lung transplantation than surgery.
– There are already seven centers that transplant, and patients have more opportunities. And every year there are more transplants, and there will be more of them – says Wojciech Karolak, a surgeon from the University Clinical Center in Gdańsk.
– Gigantic support from my wife. From what I saw, the wife is a wonderful person who sacrifices herself very much – says Aleksandra Stasińska.
To wait for the procedure and have money to pay all bills and literally be able to live, the family launched a collection. It brings one of the last hopes.
– We used to say so that we would like to get old together. And maybe we will succeed. So thank you very much – says Katarzyna Dubilewicz.
– I have to live, I have children, I have to live – says Mr. Piotr.
